Active Design Planning for Health and Wellbeing Through Sport and Physical Activity Active Design Planning for health and wellbeing through sport and physical activity Active Design case studies October 2015 Supported by 2 Active Design case studies A series of case studies have been undertaken to set out practical real-life examples of the Ten Active Design Principles and how they work in action, to inspire and encourage those engaged in the planning, design and management of our environments to deliver more active and healthier environments. Active Design Not all Active Design Principles are relevant to all case studies. The selected examples represent a range of different active settings which demonstrate a range of the Active Design Principles in differing contexts and geographies. The case studies have been prepared in collaboration with local partners who have been closely involved in the development of the specific measures identified.

The park incorporates a re-invigorated public realm, strong urban design principles and a multitude of direct and legible walking routes which connect inner city residential areas to the Station and the Gold Route. The topography of the area is challenging, with a steep slope leading down to the station. This slope has been employed to create a tiered amphitheatre. This space is used for both socialising and formal Active Design events, giving a previous area with a lack of identity a key focal point. Historic characteristics have been maintained, with the original street pattern and cobbles retained, and Sheffield Steel and Yorkshire Gritstone utilised throughout. Despite funding constraints, the difficult topography and previously low landscape quality, Sheaf Valley Park, in tandem with the Gold Route, has created a drastic improvement on the landscape and has increased opportunities for walking and cycling through the area. This has provided a key linkage for all users from the inner city residential areas to the Heart of the City.

The paths are designed to alleviate the topographical challenges of the area, allowing a Photo courtesy of Sheffield City Council steady climb to the top and therefore provide an Amphitheatre appropriate gradient for all users. If users want a As part of the landscaping in the park, an area was more direct route, steps are also provided. The routes levelled and an amphitheatre was created. This are made from robust materials, with clear signage harnesses the topography of the area, creating the and are well lit providing a safe path both by day views over the city and providing an events space. and night. This space is used for both cultural and sporting events. 3 Sheffield: The Gold Route Weston Park Following the success of the first Gold Route stage, the Council is aspiring to extend the route westward, through the Sheffield University Campus toward Weston Park. This park, in the heart of the urban area, provides an oasis frequented by joggers, footballers, Frisbee players and cyclists. The park also links to the University swimming pool, gym and sports pitches, which are available for the community as well as Case study| Sheffield: Urban regeneration student use. Devonshire Green Marking the end of the initial Gold Route, Devonshire Green was reimagined by the Council using Section 106 funding from neighbouring development. The result is a dynamic public space, with Gaudi-esque planters and seating and a large grassed area in the centre. The grassed area hosts a multitude of public events throughout the year. This space, and the rest of the public spaces in the City Centre, are monitored by a team of Ambassadors who are responsible for a variety of tasks including reporting antisocial behaviour and maintenance issues. This creates a feeling of safety and a high standard of upkeep across the variety of spaces. 4 Sheaf Square with Sheaf Valley Park in the background Sheaf Square Sheaf Square provides the gateway to the city from the train station. Utilising robust street furniture, fountains and Yorkshire Sandstone walkways, a strong public realm is formed. This creates a welcoming environment that provides a legible gateway to the Active Design city. The presence of the ‘Cutting Edge’ Sculpture to the north forms a barrier to the busy trunk road, enclosing pedestrians from the traffic, mitigating both noise and visual impact and directing pedestrians along to Howard Street, where the Gold Route continues. Howard Street Howard Street forms a direct linkage between the Station, Sheffield Hallam University and the main retail and business quarters of the city. Previously a vehicular route, this street was fully pedestrianised as part of the Gold Route enhancements, with trees, lighting and seating provided along it. Using innovative and unified paving treatments, Howard Street crosses the often congested trunk road (Sheaf Street) providing links toward the station and creating a ‘pedestrian priority’ zone across the whole street. Peace Gardens The Peace Gardens is the main City Centre square and meeting point. As can be seen from the images below the square was very much an ornamental garden before its revamp in the early 2000s which marked the beginning of the improvements outlined in the 1994 City Centre Strategy. With the demolition of the Council offices, the area was opened up entirely. Maintaining the consistent materials and the street furniture, which can be seen throughout the Gold Route, the area has become a hub of activity, being a focal point for regular events such as the Sheffield Cycling Grand Prix, charity events and large scale screenings of major sporting events.

Turn left and walk down Green Lane. Look at Cornish Street on left and the Cornish Works (former factory making files and knives). Keep going down Green Lane. Note the Milestone – smart restaurant and the likely clientel. Alfred Beckett and Sons (made steel, saws and files) is now Ink and Water webdesign. Worth pointing out this area was badly damaged in the 1864 flood caused by a dam burst. ‘No more poshies’ graffiti on wall of parking garage. Cactus estate agents – look at types of property for sale and prices. Who does the area cater for? Green Lane Works (made ornamental stove grates and fenders) currently being redeveloped into a total of 107 new houses of between one and four bedrooms in a £26million scheme. To the left of the gates is being developed into the Stew and Oyster smart pub.

With the role as a market town at this time, Sheffield have continued to be shaped by waterways to the present day. • Since the middle ages, Sheffield’s access to abundant natural resources has made it an ideal centre for a thriving iron and steel industry. • By the late 14th century Sheffield was famous for its metal knives and its role in this industry. • By the late 18th century all available sites on the rivers were developed. • In the 19th century, Sheffield became the principal location in Britain for large steel works.

    Project Mandate The mandate is the FIRST thing to do. It should be completed before ANY activity of any sort takes place. This is because the mandate is the document that triggers the permission for the project to go ahead. No work should start on a project without an approved mandate. Project Title Project Sponsor The Knowledge Gateway Edward Highfield Corporate Programme Board Project Manager Mick Empsall Date Mandate approved by sponsor Project number Date accepted by Programme Board This will be completed by the relevant This will be completed by the relevant Programme Office (PO) if and when the Programme Office (PO) if and when the mandate is accepted. mandate is accepted. Project Objectives & Summary Describe here what you think the project might be. What will the project deliver, or what changes will it bring about? Information may be limited but do what you can at this stage. There will be lots of opportunities later to refine and change your thinking as you develop the business case. The important thing is to include what you can. 1. To create a high quality gateway within the Sheffield Hallam University/Cultural Industries Quarter linking the railway station southwards to the Porter Brook development site and the University Technical College via SHU Campus, and northwards linking the Nelson Mandela development site through to Fitzalan Square via Pond Street. There are three sets of development opportunities at Fitzalan Square – the former Post Office building, Esperanto Place and the Mecca Bingo building. 2. The key change that the project will deliver will be to make the whole corridor/area more attractive and safer for pedestrians.
